I am glad to see you don't appreciate the 'Biden boy' label. I don't support it, either, for the same reason that I think namecalling in general is an asinine approach to the situation we find ourselves in.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I wouldn't brag about this..it just means the Biden campaign won't tolerate this kind of behavior Dream Girl Feb 2020 #1
